In 1882, the New Orleans and Northeastern Railroad began construction on a new railroad connecting New Orleans to Cincinnati, Ohio through Meridian, Mississippi. One of the building camps on the shore of Lake Pontchartrain continued to expand well after the completion of the railroad, and was eventually chartered as a city by the Louisiana State Legislature in 1888. Though he supposedly never set foot in the town, Slidell takes its name from John Slidell, Confederate revolutionary, major figure in the Trent Affair, and father-in-law to Baron Erlanger, head of the banking syndicate which financed the railroad. Colonel Leon Fremaux drew up the original plans for the city, naming the largest street for Erlanger and a smaller for himself. Ironically, Fremaux Avenue is now a major artery, far overshadowing Erlanger Avenue. -- Source: Wikipedia.com

Ahmad Abdalla at New Orleans Middle East Film Festival
12/22/2011
Egyptian filmmaker Ahmad Abdalla's film Microphone, about rock music, graffiti and underground youth culture in Alexandria, was widely cited as a harbinger to some of the unrest that bubbled up in Egypt during its January 25 revolution, which ousted President Hosni Mubarak, and it reflects the cultural change in the region in which many countries have disproportionately young populations. Abdalla screened the film at the Toronto Film Festival in 2010, which preceded the Arab Spring uprisings by months.…

Cooking under the (Louisiana) influence
12/22/2011
Mitch Rosenthal is the chef and owner of four popular restaurants on the West Coast, but it’s easy to see his affinity for Louisiana food in his new cookbook “Cooking My Way Back Home.” Right on the cover, in fact, there’s a photo of “angels on horseback,” or fried, bacon-wrapped oysters, dabbed with remoulade.
Familiar local flavors run through “Cooking My Way Back Home,” though it’s hardly a traditional Louisiana cookbook.…

A Louisiana Christmas, 1950
12/22/2011
In a family photograph from New Iberia, 1950, six-year old George Rodrigue stands dressed as a cowboy on Christmas morning, an only child surrounded by symbols of the time: a Radio Flyer red wagon; promotional Coca-Cola Santa Clauses (in multiples because his dad traded them on a brick-laying job); a dartboard featuring Little Black Sambo*, a reality of a bigotry so culturally ingrained that no one in young George’s world thought twice about it; and a photograph on the fireplace mantle of cousin Nootsie, a fighter pilot shot down during World War II.
I see the fireplace bricks George’s father laid ever-so-straight with his bare hands, and I wonder at the Christmas ornaments, heirlooms of school projects, world travels, and craft fairs in my own childhood (still hanging on our tree today).…
